Legacy Operating Systems

windows server 2003 r2 sp2 I created a domain acocunt called domain\username and added that account to the "log on as batch" and "log on as service" and "backup files and directories" in local security policy. When the job runs the log shows access denied. To clarify I set the job to run with the account I created and with the correct password which I also validated. I notice the job will only run if I add the above account to the adminsitrator group and I do not want to do that. What other priviliges are needed for a scheduled task job to run without adding it to the administrator group? Any help is grealty appreciated thank you.

This is not necessarily a question but more of a statement. Microsoft, I installed fresh install of Win 10 pro. I ran Edge for a bit and it was pretty fast. I needed to look at video on youtube, oh... I'd say about 3 minutes after I installed windows 10 because that's what we do with freaking browsers!... And guess what I got... "NO SUPPORT FOR VIDEO FORMAT ERROR"... that is stupid Microsoft. I will not trouble shoot it, I will not look on a forum to figure out why it isn't working, I will not spend one ounce of my time trying to fix Edge browser not working with Youtube. I installed Google Chrome and guess what? It works fine. If you want to be accepted by the…

Hey there, for some time now I have this weird problem that I sometimes have short freezes. For instance when I type the cursor will just stop and for a second it will buffer my keyboardinput and just releases it when the freeze stops. Same goes when playing, which is even far worse. When I play starcraft 2 a second of freeze is just unacceptable. I have literally no idea whats causing this. I tested my RAM with memtest, removed all harddrives except my M.2, tried with intel integrated graphics, tried different displays with different settings without success. My setup is: asrock z370 extreme4 Intel i7 8700k (not overclocked) G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-2300 DIM…

Hello, is it possible to unpin pinned apps from the start menu via Powershell? I am only looking for a Powershell solution (not GPO oder whatever). The Windows version is Windows 10, version 1803. More...

I have encountered a number of directories that now show incorrect “properties” information after the recent Windows 10 upgrade to the 1803 Feature Update. Most directories that I have looked at still show valid information. But in some specific directories the calculated size, number of files, and number of folders is wildly inaccurate. Prior to the 1803 update, the information appeared to be valid for these directories that are now in question. From one of these subdirectories, the “CNT +” subdirectory should include everything below it. By just taking a brief look at the immediate subdirectories it can easily be seen that they describe more utilized space, n…

Folder sizes not reporting correct number of files or total size Win10 Prod build 1803 Hi everyone, Short story: Update 1803 borked my previous hard drive/OS during installation, so I decided to upgrade my boot drive and clean install since there was no recovering my old boot drive OS. I ran a (manual) backup of all of my files from my storage disks (to my external USB drive). Upon comparing folder sizes, I noticed certain folders on my backup drive had a significantly lower number of files and sizes were different. Did a bunch of troubleshooting (including trying a separate external USB drive)...fast forward to me trying the same (secondary) USB drive on my …

Windows 10. Changing Default Browser. I can't change default browser either through Settings applet or Control Panel. Everytime I try to change it from Settings, the window automatically closes. When I reopen the applet, Edge stays as the default Web browser. If I try it from the Control Panel, it takes me to the Settings applet and I get the same results. More...

Hope to be fine here with this question. It is about Windows 10 2018 March operating on physical machine. It hosts Oracle Virtualbox Hypervisor with two Debian virtual machines on top of stack. Virtual machines want to get quite periodic updates (patches, fixes, security updates and so on). Quite every day except for weekends there are new updates. Currently they go through V.B. NAT network to Internet to fetch updates. Regarding generated traffic it is of double amount as each of two v.machines fetches same updates for itself separately. So to reduce the load of internet connection the idea is to setup on WSL cache-proxy for Debian package management used on …

Hi, I use RDP for the most of my daily work to connect to four other PCs. My local PC is used for mail and RDP, that's it. I'm using Windows 10 version 10.0.17134.228 I can use RDP fine for maybe a few hours and then the local taskbar will plant itself over the RDP sessions, making it SO hard to use the RDP sessions that it becomes unusable. I've tried all the methods that other people have recommended, restarting explorer.exe etc. and making sure that the local machine has no notifications and NOTHING works. When we use RDP, surely we don't CARE what the local machine is up to, it's just a means to use other machines without interruption? Is there SERIOUSLY…
